Officials with the Los Angeles Police Department said they received a shooting call regarding a trespassing suspect at a home located in the 4500 block of Tujunga Avenue, just off the 101 Freeway, in the Studio City area around 7:10 a.m. Friday, Nov. 7.
Police said the naked man broke into the front of the house. Once inside, he was confronted by the 79-year-old homeowner.
LAPD investigators said the suspect grabbed the man and threw him onto the ground, resulting in two broken legs. While on the ground, the homeowner was able to grab a gun and shoot the suspect.
"The 79-year-old man tells the suspect to leave, tells him I have a gun and I will shoot you. The suspect grabs the 79-year-old man, lifts him, throws him on the ground, and that’s where the 79- year-old man suffered two broken legs," stated LAPD Capt. Warner Castillo.
"The suspect got shot one time and the suspect still approached the 79-year-old, shot the suspect again, killing him." Police said the victim shot the man at least two to three times.
